Irene Cara
You Took My Life Away
[Verse 1]
It's very clear, with no more tears
I've had to face up to the truth
This time I fear, you left me here
With the mistakes made in my youth
But I'll be strong, though it seems wrong
I just go on wanting your love
There's nothing left for me to say
I've watched my dreams all fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue, I've played the fool
And now I realize that

[Chorus]
You, you took my life away
You, you took my heart away from me, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I sing the same familiar song
But can't bear to be alone

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue, I've played the fool
And now I realize that
[Chorus]
You, you took my life away
You, you took my heart away from me
You, you took my life away
Oh, oh, you, you took my heart away from me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You (You, you), you took my life away (You)
You (You, you), you took my heart away from me (You)
You (You, you), you took my life away (You)
Oh, you (You, you), you took my heart away from me (You)

[Outro]
You (You, you), you took my life away (You)
You (You, you), you took my heart away from me (You)
You (You, you), you took my life away
